Starting off my new job at this MNC Bank. Dream company. Dream Job. Dream office.
And then reality: boss loves to work till 10pm everyday!
Wow ~ I mean, I had forgotten to pray about this aspect! Now what? Break 101 coconuts to reverse this?
*Maya*
*Mithya*
Came home at 11pm today.
There was a client interactive event at the Taj Vivanta - a presentation by a fund manager.
Its one those events in life, where you rip your client off with the most sophisticated intellectual bulllshit.
*Maya*
Free flow of cocktails. There were 1-2 known people in audience.
One guy whom i specifically avoided.
After the event, he pitched a tent right next to the bar counter.
Muft mein daaru - why waste this opportunity?
*Maya*
Came down to the main lobby. Weekend party in full swing.
So many youngsters at the hotel pub.
Girls in itsy bitsy clothes (sometimes i wonder - why do they bother at all!)
PDA in full effect (spare me the horror pls)
I wonder - where do these people come from? where does all the money come from?
What exactly do they want in their lives? (I bet they don't have a clue).
Doing all this gives them 'happiness' ?
This is definitely not my place under the sun! *bhaago*!
*Maya*
Drove back alone through the streets - some lit, some dark.
A traffic policeman had hit jackpot by photographing vehicles parked on a wrong side (at 11pm! - what a low life!)
A few "girls" were waiting to be "picked up" at one dark corner..
Glitzy malls even after shutting down, were still burning precious man-made electric energy..
*Maya*
Taking in all these impressions but yet not..
Being in the midst of them but not a part of them...
While praying to God, its just God and me.
But when I visit God, the people and degree of *Maya* around Him shock me.
And just then, God shares this ROYAL SECRET:
Srimad Bhagawad Geeta, Chapter 9, Verse 32:
anityam asukhaṁ lokam imaṁ prāpya bhajasva mām
Being in this glorious world, do not see permanence or pleasure in it. It’s neither permanent nor pleasurable. Having attained this knowledge, you now attain Me. Being in the world, attain Me.
In the glory of the one who is not *Maya* - I bow down.
Jai Gurudev.
